I drove all the way up from Houston to take my Gf to her first game at the Joe. We got seats right behind the wings penalty box, just in time for Tootoo to come back haha. Dinner at Fish bones right now, we are so so pumped for this game =)

Yeah I would try to go every time the Griffs were down here. I loved those games. I sat on the glass for two of them, and the trainer gave me a Callahan stick at another one. Can't beat that =) I saw on the 24/7 a few years ago that the Pens do something like this in practice. You shoot till you make one, then the last guy to make one sucks, or something like that.

I was at a game in Houston last year where Smith actually scored a pretty nice goal in the shootout. Might not be too crazy of an idea.

I'm going to be in Michigan for Christmas, and I'm going to a wings game while I'm home. I plan on spending the night at Greektown that night just because it makes things so easy. - You park in their garage, and your car is relatively safe, and free if you get your ticket validated inside. - You have a place to eat before/ after the game. - if you spend the night you can leave the next day in the daylight. (easier to find your way around, and if you do get lost it isn't at night) - people mover is a pretty efficient/ safe way to get to the game and back, and there is a stop inside of Greektown. Just my 2 cents.

Dan Cleary POTG w/ 4 goals that Datsyuk shoots off of his back side.

its strange to think that a satellite in space can tell exactly where your car is on the whole planet, and they cant come up with a system to keep track of a puck.

Awesome!!

I have been waiting for so long to see Tootoo, and Helm on the same line. I'm pretty pumped about this. AdamBombQuist on the PP is going to be awesome too!!

We need Eaves back

Good thing they held on. I didn't want to come up with an excuse for postponing my meeting in 20 mins.

I'm usually not as frustrated with bad plays, or mistakes, because at least they are playing /trying. That's just me i guess. Franzen just standing around, not moving his feet, swinging his stick one-handed at pucks makes me nuts though, at least look like you are trying.

Alf hasn't made me scream at the TV yet. Franzen on the other hand...

I just posted this link on my FB, and my friends mom "liked" it =X

Gustavsson has just been activated from IR

Get a really mean scruffy dog, and name him Pulkky Badger.

A good friend of mine bar-tends at a bar in SD. If hes working the game will be on... Its called True North, its in North Park

Ill be in town from Houston for about a week in December, and id like to take my girlfriend (Born in TX, and has never even seen snow!!) to her first NHL game while I'm home. If anyone has any ideas on how to get my hands on some reasonably priced tickets id really appreciate it. I'm trying to get into the lower bowl if i can. Thanks!!

I thought the stadium was going to be on Woodward just north of 75??

This was the first thing i thought too. His knees work... He doesn't trip over the blue line when he enters the zone... Killer deal.

At least he knows he isn't getting traded for a while.

That's what i was thinking too. He was pretty pumped last year when he landed in Detroit. This year he seems kinda mehh.. We'll see. It only took him one practice to realize what he's missing.

I think it would be an inspiration to get a young team to make their own history. They are a part of a franchise that has had some great teams, but they haven't really accomplished anything yet. Its their time to step up, its their time now. Just my 2c

I love the organization, and i would even sing with the wings for.... FREE. Even though that is a great deal, it wouldn't make any sense at all. The team is two players over the roster limit, and they are adding people. It just seems like a step in the wrong direction to me.
